Simple and lip smacking mushroom masala gravy that you can enjoy with roti or zeera rice 🙂

Ingredients:

Button Mushrooms – 300 gms

Onion finely chopped – 1 large

Tomato – 1 large

Ginger garlic paste – 3/4 tsp

Red chili powder – 1 tsp

Coriander powder – t tsp

Cumin powder – 1 tsp

Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp

Garam masala powder – 1/4 tsp

Cashew nuts – 2 tbsp

Kaoori Methi – 1 tsp

Fresh cream- 2 tbsp

Oil – 2-3 tbsp

Salt as required

Method:

Heat oil. Add the onions and fry till golden brown. Transfer the fried onions to the mixer jar and allow to cool. Now add chopped tomatoes, ginger garlic paste and cashew and grind them into a smooth paste. (you can add almonds instead of cashews. Soak, peel and then grind).

Meanwhile, wash the mushrooms and cut them into quarters. Add them to the masala and fry well. Cook until the mushrooms are done.

Now add the black gram along with the water in which it was cooked. This dal is best when the consistency is thick. Make sure you add water only to that extent. Allow it to cook for a few minutes in the masala

Add fresh cream and cook for about 2-3 mins

To temper, heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil in a small pan. Add kasoori methi, fry it for a few seconds and pour it on the Dal. This gives an amazing aroma and flavor
